The Rebecca Melvin Foundation is a non-profit organization established in memory of Rebecca Theresa Melvin. The goal of the Foundation is to provide relief from the emotional, physical, and financial impact to children and their families that result from fighting chronic disabilities and illnesses. The Foundation will accomplish this by providing an item of the child’s or family’s choosing that will have a positive impact on the child’s well-being. In the spirit of perpetuating Rebecca’s selfless and loving nature, the Foundation will also seek out ways to better the lives of children with special needs in the community and their families.
